🔥🔥"This Orwellian incident of bending reality to fit a pro-Trump narrative should be regarded as a cautionary tale for what Americans can expect if this nation continues down the path toward state media in the U.S." @jimacosta.bsky.social Jim Acosta Show jimacosta.substack.com/p/fox-and-fr...

Trump is today telling every member of the US military that it is ok with him if Russia helps Iran kill them--every one. Once again Americans, Trump looks at US military personnel as suckers and losers that he can sacrifice for his own glory and profit. This is who leads

It's a good thing we don't need oil for many core parts of our daily life anymore. It's time to finally enter the 21st century and expunge fossil fuels from our economy once and for all.

He can just use state power to make bad things worse, blame others, and demand that we don’t hold elections. That’s it, that’s the whole plot; and if we don’t see it that’s on us. (3/3)

So he’s up to two Benghazis.

This is the Israeli playbook from Gaza (and Putin's in Ukraine for that matter) and it is ultra-disturbing to see the US carry out repeated attacks on civilian infrastructure. It simply does not serve a military purpose.

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.

Old enough to remember when conservatives would have lost their minds at ANYONE showing up a ceremony for the military dead wearing a baseball cap. Not long ago, people would've caught hands for that disrespect. To see a President doing it, to protect his precious combover, & getting 0 pushback?

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

Can anyone tell me what the bike industry and/or People For Bikes are doing about the way e-bikes are being blamed for havoc caused by people riding electric motorcycles?!!? WAY MORE THAN HALF THE STORIES ABOUT DEATHS CAUSED BY E-BIKES DO NOT INVOLVE E-BIKES. THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT.

Listen. It could have happened to anyone.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

So Trump rolls out the red carpet for Putin, protects Putin, bullies the Ukrainians for Putin, and in return Putin helps Iranians kill Americans. Trump must act now or the case for him being a Russian asset of some type will be undeniable.

Just so we're clear: Russia is helping Iran attack US forces, Ukraine is helping defend against Iranian drones. Maybe it's time we recognize enemy and ally, and start acting accordingly?

The US and Iran have obviously not been at war for 47 years, as regime propagandists tell us. What has been going on for 47 years is the Saudi-Iranian regional proxy war. So the propaganda defines us as a Saudi proxy state.

This “it’s not a war but a special military operation” is very Kremlin March 2022. As is the propaganda that we are not starting a war but ending one. As is the confusion of oligarch media as it tries to be faithful in the confusion…

Price of oil is up. USA is running down stocks of Patriot Missiles. European states are deploying force outside of Europe. Yep, the only real winner so far from Trump's decision to bomb Iran is.....Vladimir Putin. Funny that.

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers. Don't. Platform. Lying. Liars. To. Performatively. Lie. On. The. Teevee. Shows. If you've screwed up & done that anyway, immediately end the interviews when the performative public liars performatively lie in public. What is journalism, anyway?

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

I don’t know how many times it needs to be said, but rules of engagement are for the safety of our troops as much as they’re for protecting civilian lives. Fucking idiot children running the joint.

Again, I implore you to grasp how much of our foreign policy is basically a bunch of crazed Christian fanatics trying to fulfill their deranged prophecies.

💥“No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Trump. He's attacked 7 nations, 3 of which — Iran, Nigeria & Venezuela — had never been targeted by US strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in 4 years.”💥

Cool hey did anything happen *before* 1979 between the United States and Iran

The “big picture” here, to use Axios lingo, is that for a year team Trump has destroyed important counter-terror tools and diverted counter-terror personnel to immigration enforcement. And that Patel, Noem, & Gabbard have no qualifications and are riotously incompetent. www.axios.com/2026/03/02/i...

When Trump came to power, he ripped up the peace deal that Obama had made, and used the uncertainty he created as an excuse to bomb Iran, insisting he had ended the problem he had created once and for all, except now he's bombing them again to solve the problem he created and previously solved?

Lots of us still have pretty fresh memories of being called "America haters" & "Saddam lovers" for saying that invading Iraq was a horrible idea.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

This is not a Left/Right issue. EVERY AMERICAN should be terrified that these lunatics running DOD are willing to go to these extremes to force a company to remove all safeguards from AI at DOD. This isn’t about politics - it’s about human liberty and survival.

Deeply, viciously hateful.

VP Vance is falsely claiming the Trump Admin somehow has the “inherent” authority to just unilaterally withhold from MN mandatory federal #Medicaid funding to which the state is entitled.

i'm so old i remember when Hillary tried to make healthcare easier and the GOP screeched at her to stay in her lane

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

No one who is at all concerned with the national security of the United States can possibly support Trump. This is simply a hideous betrayal of the country and its future in exchange for a bribe.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

“Rosy portrait”? He talked about blood and dismemberment and death and spoke about the opposition party in a way that would be career-ending in a healthy democracy.

I hope that the people who wrote the "this is Trump's chance to change directions!" pieces have also written their "look at the new tone he took!" followup for tonight and the inevitable "well, looks like I fell for it again" piece for tomorrow morning

It’s amazing to think that American conservatism, which claimed to have an intellectual heritage going back to Burke, Hamilton, Hayek and Buckley, would now be a movement whose sole ideology is whatever crazy policy Trump pulls out of his ass.
